A friend of mine has those tires on a 15x7 rim on his Buick T Type. They fit fine, the tread is pretty flat and they don't look silly.

I have 275/50/15 mt drs on prostars. My prostars are 15x10 with 7.5bs, i had to grind my bump stop down some but it is well worth it.

see thats whats cool...the 7.5" convo pros with the 5" backspace put the tire in the same spot as the 15x10s with a 7.5 backspace

i just wish centerline could do a better backspace then 5"s but if the 7.5s will work...i will get them to match my convopro fronts...just like jay here haha

Does anyone know how wide the tread width would be for the m/t et street radial 275/50/15 on the convo pro 7.5" width rim? Also would these fit a car thats been lowered or do they stick out on the outside edge and rub the outer fenderwell?
